Any Republican Senators who vote to convict Trump in the impeachment can forget about ever running for President or Vice President in the future.
So, you think better they vote based on selfish interests than the good of the country?
How terribly consistent of you!
Many of the faithful would likely see them as traitors and never vote for them.
Which is not even slightly responsive to what I asked.
"Look after yourself first in this world, son...because nobody else will".
They each should be doing the best thing for themselves.
What would I do?
Now there's a good question.
The best for team bambu, for sure and certain. Whatever that might be.
It might be that I'd be too sick to attend the senate that day..."violently ill with terrible food poisoning."
Good of the country?
The country would not fall on my one vote.
If you were in government, it is possible that your one vote would determine if a president was removed from office or not.
That's the issue - do you pursue your own power-seeking agenda or do you do what is better for the country?
I'm not big on "country", country puts innocent people in prison, ruins lives.
If senator I got sick, could not work, finished up on the street homeless, living under a tarp, would the "country" care?
Most likely not.
Remove the President from office?
This one is leaving anyway...in a few days.
I'd probably be loyal to the Party, and the voters who elected me.
Yup, you would be a Trump supporter, even if you thought he caused the insurrection.
You'd have been a loyal Nazi to the end.
If you ever wonder why we treat you with such disgust so much of the time, it is because you would throw other people who had done you no harm under the bus to look good to your allies.
I might not be you know...I must have universal healthcare and the wall.
Depending on your party, yes. Loyal follower of party over good.
We get it, Bambu. You don't need to convince us further that you are an unprincipled slimeball.
""Good" is like "beauty"...is in the eye of the beholder.
Double crossing the Party and the voters who elected you to the senate is not something that one should take lightly.
Like voting on gay marriage.
Yes or No the people were asked to vote, by mail only, the papers posted out by the
Electoral Office.
Should I vote yes, 'separation of church and state', 'gay rights' etc.
Or should I vote no, because many in the yes vote lot were violent, smashing car windows of anyone with a "it's OK to vote no"
sticker ... and ranting hate of Christians.
Around and around in my mind it all went...to and fro.
Voting cut off time came and went...and my ballot paper was still sitting unused on my home desk.
